Algona, Iowa. August 1944. Phee Swensson, a gifted young pianist, reluctantly finds herself touring the POW camp looming over her quiet hometown. Before the tour ends, she overhears one of the prisoners playing the piano on the camp theater stage and is stunned to hear his haunting melodies. Intrigued when the thoughtful man behind the music asks her to become his accompanist for an upcoming concert, Phee embarks on an unforeseen friendship. Yet as her feelings for the kind German deepen, choosing her path forward becomes dauntingly complex. Will heavy secrets and a grieving country cut their tender connection short? If you like slow-burn romance, richly researched home front settings, and relationship-driven stories, then you’ll adore Sally Jameson Bond’s evocative and emotional WWII tale. $0.99 on Kindle.
